Shin Prince of Tennis Chapter 118 and 119 Discussion/Predictions

Chapter 118
-The game count is 3-3.
-Tokugawa has entered a state called Asura no Shindou.
-This state has a variety of effects on his serves, namely increased speed, increased spin and the ability for the ball to pass through the opponent's racket.
-Tokugawa wins this service game and leads 4-3.

Chapter 119
-Byoudouin wins the current game and makes the score 6-6, the first set comes down to a tiebreak.
-Tokugawa gains a 6-5 lead.
-He hits a Glowing Shot to win the set, but Byoudouin reveals his personal Kijin Mode (no official name as of yet) and returns the ball. Tokugawa barely manages to dodge the illusion shot.
-Oni explains that he was planning on passing down all of his techniques to Tokugawa to elevate him to Asura no Shindou, but didn't notice that he strengthened Byoudouin in the process as well.

NOTE: The audience's reaction seems to suggest that this is the first Glowing Shot Tokugawa hit during this match. Following that, it seems that the one during the first game was actually hit by Byoudouin and reflected by Tokugawa.

At least that is what I got after seeing both Byodouin vs Oni and Byodouin vs Tokugawa, in both scenarios it was a matter of life and death.

Byoudouin has just cemented his permanent place in my Top10.
They both deserve this win equally. To hell with Oni though.
Tokugawa can get the No.1 badge next year lol. I doubt Ryoma should truly be able to close the gap entirely by then. Tokugawa should have some kind of little edge.

Reason: Moved the other part of the post to the techniques discussion.

I was interested in knowing the coaches had said and to see that they are impressed with their abilities but the line "They are play for their lives" is a little much in my book. SPoT sure has gone to be like DBZ death match.

Re: Shin Prince of Tennis Chapter 118 and 119 Discussion/Predictions

I bet Byodouin is wandering why all these losers wimp out from minor injuries when he put his life on the line and took a giant ball from Oni in the head to become stronger. It's probably like how in DBZ Goku wounds himself on purpose to get closer to verge of death so that he can recover and become stronger.

Apparently Konomi has some kind of blog or something where he's posting information about next month and it seems credible (the whole Divine Path of Asura came from there way before the manga was out). Says next month Byodouin will strike back, which is saying literally nothing, and that most of the action will be focused on Ryoga & Ryoma (ug).
